On Friday, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., issued a tweet touting his vote to defund Obamacare, but a number of people took him to task, Twitchy said, calling the embattled Republican a liar. While Graham did vote with other Republicans to defund Obamacare,
he joined a number of Senate Republicans in voting for cloture -- a key
vote that allowed Majority Leader Harry Reid to put funding for the
massive law back into the continuing resolution.

"I proudly voted to #DefundObamacare and am proud every Senate GOPer
united in support of the House-passed #DefundObamacare provision,"
Graham tweeted.

"With Dems in control of Senate we needed Dems to join with the American people who want Obamacare stopped in its tracks," he added some time later.
